A wide variety of materials is being used in biomedical engineering
for various functions. This includes a range of ceramics, polymers
and metallic materials for implants and medical devices. A major
question is how these materials will perform inside the body, which
is very sensitive to alien materials. The material must not only
survive to perform its intended function but also not initiate any
damage to the surrounding tissue or induce a wider health problem.
The service characteristics of implanted materials are of vital
concern to health treatments that alleviate ageing.This book
collates information and provides a concise text on the performance
of different materials used in devices and implants. The knowledge
presented is critical for a biomedical engineer, especially for the
purpose of selecting the right materials. In addition, topics such
as allergies and infection, tissue scaffolds, and drug delivery are
reviewed.
